I don’t think Kathryn Ryan is strong enough personality wise to host the reunion! #RealHousewivesOfLondon

Rest in peace, Patricia Routledge 🙏🏻

In memory of her, I encourage everyone to read these words of hers from February last year.

Whether young or old, you're bound to get something out of it.

*****

"I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often filled with worry — worry that I wasn’t quite good enough, that no one would cast me again, that I wouldn’t live up to my mother’s hopes. But these days begin in peace, and end in gratitude.

My life didn’t quite take shape until my forties. I had worked steadily — on provincial stages, in radio plays, in West End productions — but I often felt adrift, as though I was searching for a home within myself that I hadn’t quite found.

At 50, I accepted a television role that many would later associate me with — Hyacinth Bucket, of Keeping Up Appearances. I thought it would be a small part in a little series. I never imagined that it would take me into people’s living rooms and hearts around the world. And truthfully, that role taught me to accept my own quirks. It healed something in me.

At 60, I began learning Italian — not for work, but so I could sing opera in its native language. I also learned how to live alone without feeling lonely. I read poetry aloud each evening, not to perfect my diction, but to quiet my soul.

At 70, I returned to the Shakespearean stage — something I once believed I had aged out of. But this time, I had nothing to prove. I stood on those boards with stillness, and audiences felt that. I was no longer performing. I was simply being.

At 80, I took up watercolour painting. I painted flowers from my garden, old hats from my youth, and faces I remembered from the London Underground. Each painting was a quiet memory made visible.

Now, at 95, I write letters by hand. I’m learning to bake rye bread. I still breathe deeply every morning. I still adore laughter — though I no longer try to make anyone laugh. I love the quiet more than ever.

I’m writing this to tell you something simple:

Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter — if you let yourself bloom again.

Let these years ahead be your TREASURE YEARS.

You don’t need to be famous. You don’t need to be flawless.

You only need to show up — fully — for the life that is still yours.

With love and gentleness,

Patricia Routledge

Once more, rest in peace. 🤍

@LizKershawDJ This is shocking but unfortunately happens in the majority of doctors surgeries. The NHS is broken 😞 I believe all U.K governments want this! More money to privatise is how they think!

Are you travelling by @SouthernRailUK this weekend? My friend Lucie desperately needs your help. She has spent nine months hand making this beautiful quilt out of disused kimono silk for her oldest friend's brand new baby:

On the eve of your funeral I have lit a candle & wished you well. You deserved more than this cruel life gave you. Always in my heart R.I.P Emma Louise Brown. Hope you are now free & have moved on to better things! -x-

[K3LLY @K3llyJF]

@tundejames @fasc1nate I’d probably sit down & join them 😄

[K3LLY @K3llyJF]

@mollyfentonx I went through something similar through trauma. Not sleeping set off horrific panic attacks & confusion so eventually I had to tell myself that not waking up from sleeping would be peaceful rather than the anxiety/confusion lack of sleep was causing me & it worked ❤️

Shortly after 9:30pm on Friday, 3 December 1926, Agatha Christie got up from her armchair and climbed the stairs of her Berkshire home.

She kissed her sleeping daughter Rosalind, aged seven, goodnight and returned downstairs again.

Then she climbed into her Morris Cowley and drove off into the night.

She would not be seen again for 11 days.
